I disagree with the bashers of the set and staging. It is simple, yet stark and empty. It shows her inner misery. Dressing the chorus in suits shows how alone she feels in the world and also how she sees Alfredo initially, as just another client in a sea of stuffed shirts. And for the record, Verdi wanted the cast to wear modern attire but the censorship people made them wear outfits from a hundred years earlier instead, so the situation wouldn't seem as realistic.
It would seem that whoever thought up this set has absolutely no idea what opera is all about. On the other hand one might surmise that the set came from a Salvation army discount sale because the opera company ran out of money to do it right
Nice voice. But I hate the set. Stripped down and ugly. Modern "artistic" opera settings are done only to flatter the ego of the designer. Traditional opera settings are more in keeping with the feel of the opera. And dressing the chorus women in suits. Are all of Violetta's guests supposed to be men? She's a cortesan, not a slut!
Les voix sont belles, mais la mise en scène, comme de plus en plus souvent, une merde infame. L'opéra est bien mal servi par des metteurs en scène dont l'ego surdimensionné leur fait oublier qu'ils sont tout petits devant les chefs d'oeuvre qu'on leur confie!!!!! Humilité mesdames et messieurs
I don't usually like operatic productions that alter the period setting of the piece. However, the minimalist set works incredibly well here. I absolutely get what the director was going for.
I love that opera has survived to the modern day I absolutely detest old fashioned staid productions the themes are so profound that there re interpretation is what makes them valid and vital
I would rather prefer the original traviata because I don't like modern adaptations of Opera but I certainly LOVE this one. only for Netrebko appearing. (L)
I wonder… when did opera become musical theatre? I wonder… when did opera become musical theatre? The production certainly would feel at home on Broadway. Sadly, so would the general abilities of the soloists.
cantan muy bien, la verdd no se mucho de opera, pero no se supone que era un clima festivo?o sea no se corresponte con la actuacion y ademas la flor en el pecho es de habanera
@sofia970 , para bien o para mal actualmente ese tipo de puestas en escena es lo que prima en los países teutones ( ni lo critico ni lo apruebo, va a gustos, solo comento
@TheDimzz Operatic singing is UNAMLIFIED singing. There may be mics for recording, but never amplification except for outdoors where the acoustics is bad. Remember, most operas were written long before mics and most opera theaters in Europe are just as old. Opera singers are trained to project their voices and use their full bodies for resonance so that they are heard even in a large opera theater, also opera theaters have good acoustics. Try going to the opera, the sound is amazing.

Traviata - Ms. Netrebko displayed ample power, coloratura bravura with a marvelous tone Having recently heard Natalie Dessay sing Sempre Libera at the Met Gala, one was impressed by the legato nature of Netrebko's portray in contrast to Dessay's intentional staccato, fragmented phrasing interpretation. Having also seen photos of Fleming in her current Violetta at the ROH, one can only marvel at Netrebko's resilience, endurance and commitment to bel canto opera.

Diese Inszenierung aus 2005 von den Salzburger Festspielen ist das Beste dieser Traviata, was ich je gesehen habe. Konzentration aufs Wesentliche und unschlagbare Sänger und Bühnenschauspieler.
I don't like this production which is very European. There is quite a cultural difference between Europe and other places. I prefer this production, although the singers are more suited to South American tastes.
I looked at the other blogs and found that I am not alone in disliking this treatment of the opera. Watch the film Carmen Jones. It is based on Carmen set in another time but the storyline and acting are in sync with the songs. Would you countenance someone singing Lascia ch'io pianga with a smiling face?
OK. I'm trying to understand this different rendition of Libiamo here. The lyrics are happily carefree so I wondered why Villazon was acting like an angry drunk. And in the first place why did Netrebko made that jilting gesture. Now I understand but I must say the lyrics do not go well with the action here. I am used to hearing this Brindisi with a background of joyful carousing. I do not like this version at all.
You can't blame Villazon or Netrebko about this: it's clearly the director's artistic view, a new one indeed. Of course you don't have to like it or agree with it, it's perfectly your right to like or dislike it; I just want to point out this is the director's responsibility, not the singers.
Who said anything about blaming the singers? I Iike Netrebko well enough and Villazon sings it right. The director should have changed the lyrics to suit his treatment because as it turned out the lyrics are incongruent with the acting
@Etnecserc You never mentioned the director in your comment, only the singers, so that could at least be understood (or misunderstood) as blaming the singers. Anna's "jilting gesture" and Rolando's "acting like an angry drunk", after watching the behind-the-scenes, are clearly the director's vision. You can't change the lyrics (unless you translate it into another language), but the staging is nowadays something very free. And it's the director's responsibility. That's all I'm saying.
@dcb01ene2000 . I did not deign even to find out who the director was after seeing this execrable interpretation. I do not care to know. I should at least spare him personal excoriation. Of course I knew the singers characterized the roles following directorial specifications. Only a fanatic would interpret my previous comments as reflecting negatively on the singers.
@Etnecserc Well, I'm not a fanatic at all. Of anything. I haven't called you "this" or "that" because simply I don't know you. Would you please give me back the same courtesy? Disagreements are always welcome, but with respect, please. If I have said something that offended you, then I apologize: that was never my intention.
OK. I am reciprocating the apology. I regret using the word "fanatic." It is a misunderstanding caused by our coming from different cultures. As I said in my original post, I was trying to understand what was happening in the opera with its new twist. I understood but I still could not reconcile the lyrics with the action. Yes, the lyrics could have been changed just as in Handel's Lascia ch'io pianga which was sang as Lascia la spina cogli la rosa in another setting.
That is the central part of the opera in which we see a different Violetta and Anna Netrebko is a a good actress as well. I saw her in Vienna.
Anna Netrebko is one of the worlds most stunning sopranos who sweeps audiences off their feet wherever she appears. She is one of those opera singers who remind you how rarely genuine talent and beauty go together. And, thank God, she's got plenty of them !!!.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Come on ...flyingelephant/striker/mtnmanjt.....the rotten game is over....!!!!!
Hello Callas and Netrebko fans!
flyingElephant is my buddy and we upload videos of Maria Callas and Netrebko under many different names(LittlePasserotto, Leoperarm, Oneguin and so on). We make money with every click on our videos. Thank you folks for your clicks!!!
We know, it's forbidden from YouTube but we benefit ourself with the idiotic comments. HAW HAW...........thanks for the money!!!!
A classic XXI century performance despite Avant-garde interpretation. Really high drama. Di Stefano used to say that the most important thing in opera is the drama: the music and singing support the drama.
Anna has unique "Red gold on dark velvet" voice. Her body language is pure cruelty. Look at 1:07. Amazing charisma.
Now about lowlifes' comments. Malicious envy is a natural reaction of mediocrity to a true talent. Talk about your experience but please do not answer those posts.
What do you mean, Oldkievite ? You're absolutely wrong ! Violetta is a courtesan, a demi-mondaine (Prima donna soprano) according to the libretto. The staging here is OK ! She's just a beautiful courtesan.
It's later on that Violetta abandons her happy but empty life and binds with the young nobleman Alfred Germont. Love make wonders and changes her completely. Think of the duet in act 3 in which Violetta asks Germon, Alfredo's father, to hold her tight just as a father holds his daughter.
My God! I never saw so low and offensive comments on a person before! If you can't criticise someone in a respectfull way I doubt you're in position to criticise someone. I'm not a great fan of Netrebko - I do like her voice, but not her singing -, but I think that kind of persecution on her is absurd!
Wrong Bellaredo, La Scala is alive and very well!! HA! HA ! look at their website, a most beautiful Opera Hall, in the world. It is very imposing. I would think some singers would be afraid to sing there. You know someone like, er, ah, umm, ah,..............Fat Annie Netrebko!!
Yes, this is why Netrebko is afraid to appear at La Scala. They will shred her there. They don't like how she has cheapened Classical Opera. She will be Miss Tomato Head, if she goes to Milan.
Anna is too fat now for La Scala. She gained a lot of weight after having that beast-child. She is really fat now, you will be shocked how fat. She looks like a pork-butt in the meat case!!
Fat or thin, this should not be relevant to judge a singer... But for the quality of some comments here, one could easily judge the stupidity or intelligence of its author.

Filaredo, you are crazy. Netrebko/Gheorghiu stink for porn. Ugly, no big juggs, not sexy. Internet is loaded with young, sexy girls, no need to look at these old hags. Netreblo has an ILLEGITIMATE BASTARD CHILD. Who wants her smelly, child-bearing crotch!!!
Everybody just likes her looks that's all. She has no substance, or technical expertise. She will still make money though, everybody likes a cute broad.......look at Britney Spears...cute idiot with no talent!! She and Anna should both get into prostitution, they can call it
Mr. MTNMANJT is unteachable, sex-starved and perhaps he need the sites of Netrebko and Gheorghiu for his sexual fetish but he couldn't care less about what's going on around him.
He has not a spark of decency but it's a crucial factor for healthy aging!
Dirty old man MTNMANJT continues...... but we know why!!! :-))))) LOL

And you Thugman30, man from Mocambique, have lied all the time.
It's true, you are only a YouTube expert without real knowledge and you BASH Anna Netrebko! What's the reason to be so abusive? Why do you offend thousands of YouTube fans with your lies about Anna?
She is not perfect, everybody knows it, but why these impertinent lies?
You should give right now an honest answer, so that we can respect you in future.
I read very good reviews for Anna, I like her very much, so I do not understand what is that all about, she is young and beautiful. She has a great voice and a great future, good for her
Thugman30 brain has no variety of thoughts, no depth, no trills. Thugman30 has poor imagination, a seriously underdeveloped brain activity and on top of all these problems he has poor diction. What are his recent achievements??? He has none because he is too busy bashing successful people while sitting in Mozambique under his favorite palm tree. He had fallen from that tree and broke his tail. Or did he have it removed?
thugman30, why don't you write to the Times (UK) and ask yourself? Why bash Anna for that, she did not vote, other musicians did, have you seen her score?
Leoperam, Pyrare, Thugman, Eradesso, Mozzrt etc... are only one person.
He / she has studied in the college of music in Cologne music or song.
He gets no engagements and projects the hatred on Anna Netrebko, because he / she either sings ABYSMAL, or physical deficits are given. He / she is just a loser and now plays here the YouTube-buffoon!!!!
I am glad to hear that leoperarm and thugman30 (I hope he tells that truth) were never professionally trained, so they are just malicious kids having fun by bashing Anna, but that should not be allowed. So I am not intended to let them
filaredo, I always had a feeling that these people are somehow connected to the fact that Anna is marrying Erwin Schrott, - seems that there is a lot of malice from that part of the globe
Yes, I am a malicious kid having fun by basing YOU! I don't think that Netrebko is as stupid as her 'defenders', she has the mind to trick the 'millions of admirers' and 'opera critics' with her weak, declining voice; you are the ones we laugh at, your ingenuity is so AMAZING! (have I mentioned Dessay?no, so please do not reply with one of those strange and spontaneous soubrette comments^^)
leoperarm Erwin Schrott is Netrebko's husband who is also being bashed by thugman30. And I am sure you did not mean to say that Netrebko has a weak voice because nothing can be futher from the turth. At the same time this is completely true about Dessay's childish and unplesant voice. The reason people mention her is to get back at you, so you would feel our pain when we have to read these insulting comments (but mostly from thugman30) I know he has something personal and probably it is SCHROTT
Thank you for the information, I later investigated, he's an opera singer too! Wow.
Ana about Dessay, I don't feel any pain at all nor consider it something personal....simply because I have never met Dessay and I know that her voice defends by itself^^
To all - such an enormous hate against Anna can be only explained that there is a silent campaign on you tube. If you read comments on her pages you will see that there is only a few usernames - (some people have several though) who constantly bash and insult her. It has to do with her success and with malicious envy from other singers. Anna by no means deserves any of this, she is a great talent and a wonderful person.
have you spoke to her for more than 5 minutes in order to say that she doesn't deserve this or that she is a 'wonderful person'? Don't you think that she laughs at your ingenuity at home? Poor creatures.
As your ignorance always revolve around Netrebko, I have no further expectations from you both. Netrebko has no depth, sounds like a popera singer, no variety of tones, very poor enunciation of the lyrics and no precise control of dynamics.
You've just showed your lack of knowledge on the matter (again). You can learn from other's non-ignorant objective opinions and get soething else in your head. Believe me, if you try to follow other's advice on the matter you'll discover singers thousands of times better than Netrebko, and you'll understand our points.
You'll lose nothing by looking for some composer's quotations about singing, and why is Netrebko not doing right. Believe me.
yeah... but sometimes I feel sorry for them... Netrebko mut be making fun of her easy life of mediocrity because of these people.
They have no respect for anyone! Surely they have hit their mothers after being neglected by the whole society, and this is the result!
I'm not playing this game anymore, we gain nothing by introducing this kind of people to the real operatic world, better that they stay in the surface, and enjoying third class performances ;)
of course... I understand you... that's what I call the 'surface' of opera, third-class performances. Some people investigate about their songs and all that, and there is where they find this wonderful Youtube-opera community awaiting with the real ART. Some others get drowned in ignorance, and there is where this wonderful Youtube-opera community gets them out of the system (and I think that these are pretty much pissed off to give a simple intelligent argument against you and some others) ^^.
Thugman, you right - Natalie Ushakova better sings - but not so nicely!
But, with big pleasure she gives the sceptre to her best friend Natalie Ushakova!
Then she can sing what she loves - like Renee Fleming, for example, the Marschallin from one of the nicest operas the "Rosenkavalier" and not only the overrated Italian junk - like Callas!

I disagree with the bashers of the set and staging. It is simple, yet stark and empty. It shows her inner misery. Dressing the chorus in suits shows how alone she feels in the world and also how she sees Alfredo initially, as just another client in a sea of stuffed shirts. And for the record, Verdi wanted the cast to wear modern attire but the censorship people made them wear outfits from a hundred years earlier instead, so the situation wouldn't seem as realistic.

@Etnecserc Well, I'm not a fanatic at all. Of anything. I haven't called you "this" or "that" because simply I don't know you. Would you please give me back the same courtesy? Disagreements are always welcome, but with respect, please. If I have said something that offended you, then I apologize: that was never my intention.
dcb01ene2000 2 years ago
OK. I am reciprocating the apology. I regret using the word "fanatic." It is a misunderstanding caused by our coming from different cultures. As I said in my original post, I was trying to understand what was happening in the opera with its new twist. I understood but I still could not reconcile the lyrics with the action. Yes, the lyrics could have been changed just as in Handel's Lascia ch'io pianga which was sang as Lascia la spina cogli la rosa in another setting.

That is the central part of the opera in which we see a different Violetta and Anna Netrebko is a a good actress as well. I saw her in Vienna.
Anna Netrebko is one of the worlds most stunning sopranos who sweeps audiences off their feet wherever she appears. She is one of those opera singers who remind you how rarely genuine talent and beauty go together. And, thank God, she's got plenty of them !!!.

I love to duet with Netrebko, she the best soprano and the most beautiful to be singing with.

A classic XXI century performance despite Avant-garde interpretation. Really high drama. Di Stefano used to say that the most important thing in opera is the drama: the music and singing support the drama.
Anna has unique "Red gold on dark velvet" voice. Her body language is pure cruelty. Look at 1:07. Amazing charisma.
Now about lowlifes' comments. Malicious envy is a natural reaction of mediocrity to a true talent. Talk about your experience but please do not answer those posts.

low class singing, pale and dull voice by Netrebko and Villazon.
FlyingElephant20 2 years ago
What do you mean, Oldkievite ? You're absolutely wrong ! Violetta is a courtesan, a demi-mondaine (Prima donna soprano) according to the libretto. The staging here is OK ! She's just a beautiful courtesan.
Coletta100 2 years ago
It's later on that Violetta abandons her happy but empty life and binds with the young nobleman Alfred Germont. Love make wonders and changes her completely. Think of the duet in act 3 in which Violetta asks Germon, Alfredo's father, to hold her tight just as a father holds his daughter.

Traviata - Ms. Netrebko displayed ample power, coloratura bravura with a marvelous tone. Having recently heard Natalie Dessay sing Sempre Libera at the Met Gala, one was impressed by the legato nature of Netrebko's portray in contrast to Dessay's intentional staccato, fragmented phrasing interpretation. Having also seen photos of Fleming in her current Violetta at the ROH, one can only marvel at Netrebko's resilience, endurance and commitment to bel canto opera She is made for this type of role

sorkin777 2 years ago
who is Erwin Schrott? whatever...
Yes, I am a malicious kid having fun by basing YOU! I don't think that Netrebko is as stupid as her 'defenders', she has the mind to trick the 'millions of admirers' and 'opera critics' with her weak, declining voice; you are the ones we laugh at, your ingenuity is so AMAZING! (have I mentioned Dessay?no, so please do not reply with one of those strange and spontaneous soubrette comments^^)
leoperarm 2 years ago
leoperarm Erwin Schrott is Netrebko's husband who is also being bashed by thugman30. And I am sure you did not mean to say that Netrebko has a weak voice because nothing can be futher from the turth. At the same time this is completely true about Dessay's childish and unplesant voice. The reason people mention her is to get back at you, so you would feel our pain when we have to read these insulting comments (but mostly from thugman30) I know he has something personal and probably it is SCHROTT
sorkin777 2 years ago
Thank you for the information, I later investigated, he's an opera singer too! Wow.
Ana about Dessay, I don't feel any pain at all nor consider it something personal....simply because I have never met Dessay and I know that her voice defends by itself^^
leoperarm 2 years ago
To all - such an enormous hate against Anna can be only explained that there is a silent campaign on you tube. If you read comments on her pages you will see that there is only a few usernames - (some people have several though) who constantly bash and insult her. It has to do with her success and with malicious envy from other singers. Anna by no means deserves any of this, she is a great talent and a wonderful person.
sorkin777 2 years ago

You've just showed your lack of knowledge on the matter (again). You can learn from other's non-ignorant objective opinions and get soething else in your head.

You'll lose nothing by looking for some composer's quotations about singing, and why is Netrebko not doing right. Believe me.
